[Ebykr summary; the article’s text is not reproduced. Continuing, the note says that the Lefol cycle articles stand out for their finish and their strength, and that the illustration shows the Cantilever-type brake in die-forged and polished duralumin (the text says “policé” where the heading says “poli”). The brake allows the brake-shoe holders (porte-patins) to be adjusted easily for height and allows the wheel to be removed without deflating the tire.]

[A line drawing of the brake fitted to a front fork: the two arms pivot on bolts on the fork blades below the crown, each arm holding a brake block in a shoe holder on a post and a straddle wire runs from the tip of each arm up to a two-eyed link hung from the brake cable above the crown. The drawing carries no visible signature.]
